Files Laravel Package

yiisoft/files is a lightweight PHP package that provides convenient filesystem utilities for managing files and directories. Centered around the static FileHelper, it streamlines common tasks like creating, cleaning, and removing directories with predictable behavior.

It supports safe directory operations and flexible cleanup via options such as symlink traversal control and path-based filtering (e.g., with PathMatcher), making it suitable for maintenance scripts and application tooling.

• Ensure directories exist (optionally setting permissions)
• Remove directories recursively or clear contents without deleting the folder
• Filter cleanup operations with include/exclude patterns
• Control behavior around symlinks during traversal
• Simple, static API targeting PHP 8.0–8.5
